Miscellaneous Information

In 2004, Valentina Pasquale graduated in Biomedical Engineering at University of Genova (ITALY), with a thesis about “Models and simulations of networks of cortical neurons in vitro”, developed in NEURON, supervised by Prof. Vittorio Sanguineti.

In November 2006, she got the MD in Bioengineering (Neuroengineering curriculum). Thesis: “Self-organized critical states and population dynamics in networks of cortical neurons in vitro”, supervised by Sergio Martinoia.

In 2010, she got the PhD in Humanoid Technologies at Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (Neuroscience and Brain Technologies Department), in collaboration with University of Genova, under the supervision of Michela Chiappalone, Sergio Martinoia and Fabio Benfenati. During PhD studies, she focused on developing algorithms to characterize the network dynamics of primary neuronal cultures plated onto planar micro-electrode arrays.

After a brief experience in Carestream Health (www.carestream.com), where she worked as Integration Specialist (EAMER HCIS) for radiology information systems, she came back to research and she is currently Junior Post-doc at IIT, mainly involved in the BRAIN BOW project. In this context, she is developing offline analysis tools for extracellular recordings from in vitro isolated guinea pig brains.
